Everyone continued walking towards the tower. Axel was leading the the rag-tag army with Sora by his side. They were both lost in there own thoughts.

"Axel, I need to know something. How ARE we going to deal with Xemnas?" Sora asked.

"I...don't know?" Axel replied, lowering his head.

He was thinking the same thing. How WAS he gonna deal with Xemnas when he got his hands on him? When Axel came back from the realm, he had ditched his assassin side. He didn't want to kill people anymore. He wanted to be something special. He wanted to be a boxer. Fighting WAS all he knew. Suddenly, he felt someone poking his arm. He looked to his right only to see Larxene glaring up at him. What could she want now?

"Axel honey I know this is not the time but...when we were nobodies,do you remember the first day we met? Larxene asked

That sentence echoed in Axel's mind. He did remember. He also remembered how much he hated that day.

2 years ago (Chain of Memories btw)

Everyone in Castle Oblivion was getting used to there headquarters. Larxene and Marluxia were training and Zexion and Vexen were reading. Suddenly, Axel came into everyones lives. Everyone stared him down. Axel just ignored them and walked straight to this room.

"Hey Marluxia, who is the new guy? I have seen him around the castle but I don't remember his name." Larxene whispered to Marluxia.

"His name is Axel Larxene. He is number eight and he controls fire." Marluxia replied.

Larxene just stared at the red haired assassin. She knew she would enjoy his company. Two hours had passed in the Castle. Larxene was bored out of her mind. Training with Marluxia always got boring after some time. Then she had a thought. It hit her like a ton of bricks. She could always mess with Vexen. "Hehe...I wonder what that old bag of bones is doing." She said to herself. She got off her bed and walked down to his lab. On her way down stares she spotted Axel, walking towards his bedroom. She hid behind a pillar and popped her head out to look at him. Axel turned his head to towards her direction. She ducked behind the pillars and covered her mouth just incase. He nodded and walked into his room.

"Hmm...hello Mister mysterious." She joked to herself.

She continued to walk to vexens lab. He was always cooped up in there. Suddenly, she felt a hand on her shoulder. She looked in back of her only to see Marluxia staring a death chilling stare at her. She wondered what that pink haired bafoon could want.

"Larxene it's time for our sparring match." Marluxia said with glee.

"YAY I'll go get my knive shiner." Larxene replied and vanished off.

Even though she never liked Marluxia, the guy could fight really well. She was super excited for this. As always, everyone came to watch those two brawl. And as always...it wold in in aa stalemate. But this time Larxene had a trick up her sleeve. "Smoke bombs, Marluxia won't see them coming." She said to herself. She planted them in her sleeves and walked to the arena. when she got there she saw that everyone was there...even Axel. She looked at him for five seconds and inhaled.

"great...he is here." She said outloud for all to hear.

She looked to the center of the arena and saw Marluxia polishing the top of his syth." Larxene, it's about time you showed up," Marluxia teased. Larxene smiled at him and summoned her knives. Marluxia smiled back and pointed his syth at her. "Make your move Larxene." She smiled at him once more and dashed towards Marluxia. He saw it coming and quickly moved to the side.

"Wow Marly, your faster than I expected. well done." Larxene complemented.

It was time to get serious. She threw four knives at Marluxia and an extra two at his feet. Instead of dodging them, he twirld his syth around with maximum speed. His syth also served as his shield. Suddenly, a loud boom was heared and black smoke rose from under Marluxia. "wait...WHAT THE!" He yelled and covered his face. everyone who was spectating looked baffled. Vexen and Zexion were surprised to see that larxene knew this tacting. lexaeus and Axel looked at each other.

"How ya enjoying the show Axel?" He asked.

Axel didn't respond. he knew deep in his mind that his money was on Marluxia. Finally the smoke cleared and Marluxia regained his composure. But he realized something strange. Larxene was missing in action. He looked everywhere but no Larxene. Suddenly, he felt a painful blow to the back of his head. Larxene had punched him so hard he fell to the floor. he was knocked out cold and dreaming about rainbow flowers. Larxene stood over him and laughed. "I guess I should be the new lord of the castle now." She joked. Two hours later everyone was in the kitchen talking questioning larxene on how she managed to beat Marluxia this time.

"Wow Larxene, I'm impressed. That strategy worked out really well." Zexion congradulated.

"I agree. You really stuck it to marluxia this time." Vexen said.

Larxene crossed her arms and leaned againts the kitchen counter. "yep. I knew I would win. when it comes to fighting well...you just can't win." Larxene commented. Just as soon as she said that, Axel walked in and opened the refrigerator. Everyone looked at him. lexaeus walked over to meet him. Zexion and vexen stood next to larxene and began to whisper.

"Hey guys, who's the red guy?" Zexion asked

"His name is Axel. He is the wizard of fire or something like that." Vexen replied.

Axel closed the refrigerator and poured himself a glass og milk. Larxene walked over to him and put a hand on his shoulder. He looked at her while he was drinking his milk and raised an eyebrow. "Sooooo Axel, how did you enjoy the show?" Larxene asked. Axel didn't give her a response. Instead, he finished his glass and walked towards the door leading to the hallway. At this point Larxene got angry and threw a plastic cup at him.

"Hey asshole. I asked a question. Now speak the hell up. Or...maybe you would like to be the next guy to get knocked out." Larxene threatened, summoning her knives.

"Lady...I don't got beef with you. So step off before I step on you." Axel replied real cool like.

Larxene and everyone else in the kitchen dropped there jaw. No one had ever stood up to Larxene like that. Axle walked out into the hallway, never looking back at the scene. Suddenly, a portal opened up and out popped the hostile nymph herself. She spread her arms out, blocking any means of escape for Axel. Her eyes had "kill" written all over them. She then walked towards Axel until her face was inches towards his. She smiled at him and caressed his chin. "You must think your soooo cute huh?" She whispered in his ear. "Let me tell you something Axel my sweet, I can kill you right now if I want. Soooo if you want to stay alive in this castle you better do as I say. Okay my little play toy?" Larxene kissed him on his cheek and pushed him towards the wall. he looked at her and grinned.

"Ya know something lady...I'm not afraid of you. So what if you beat Marluxia so WHAT!. I'm never gonna back down from a fight. So whatever you want to throw at me...go ahead and throw it. I'll be ready." Axel explained and dissapeared through his own portal.

Larxene was still smiling. She crossed her arms and began to blush. Nobody ever stood up to her like that...nobody. she walked back into the kitchen to celebrate with everyone else. "Sooo did you talk to the new guy?" Zexion asked. She looked at him and placed a hand on her cheek and smiled.

" Oh Zexion, he is just so...so...so CUTE!" Larxene yelled

She teleported to her room in a jiffy and laid on her bed. She began to think about Axel. She knew teasing him was going to be fun.
